There’s one place I know that has reserved signs you can put on a table whilst you queue which is brilliant]

Surrey Phil Mar 2018 1:23pm, 13 Mar 2018 2,342 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I did do something similar last week only because the last table my family could fit around (plus daughter in wheelchair) was a four-person table. Note that there were some two-person tables still free for the couples in front in the small queue.

That sounds a fab idea FDNB!] [Mrs Jigs, I sometimes ask for a coffee to stay in but in a take out cup - if I know I won't have time to drink the whole thing before I go - but I always say that at the counter so I pay the stay-in price. I probably do look like one of "those" people though!]
